AQ Eri recent outburst
AQ Eri, which belongs to UGSU, is not fully observed. Recent outburst
list is following;
2004 Aug. 12.6 (RASNZ observations)
2005 May 13.6 (Rod Stubbings)
2006 Feb. 12.8 (Eddy Muyllaert)
2006 Nov. 12.9 (Eddy Muyllaert)
(Though outburst is reported in Feb.2007, this report is not confirmed.)
These records imply recent AQ Eri has undergone outbursts regularly every
250-300 days.
(Before 2004 August, this regularity didn't apply to this star. For example,
AQ Eri underwent outburst more frequently around 2004 Jan.)
This periodic behavior implies that this system might undergo outburst around Sep.
2007. However, this guess is not confirmed due to the few observation.
Let us observe this UGSU better.
